​Electrolysis Permanent Hair Removal

​Permanent Hair Removal for All Hair Colours and Skin Types

Unwanted hair can be frustrating, time-consuming and, for many people, a source of ongoing self-consciousness. While laser hair removal has transformed the way we manage unwanted hair, it does have limitations. Certain hair colours and hair types simply cannot be effectively targeted by laser technology.

Electrolysis offers a solution!

Recognised as the only proven method of permanent hair removal, electrolysis permanently destroys the cells responsible for hair growth, making it suitable for all skin tones and all hair colours, including blonde, grey, white and red hairs.
​
At Skin, we have invested in the Apilus xCell Pur by Dectro, one of the world's most advanced electrolysis systems, allowing us to deliver faster, more comfortable and more precise treatments than traditional electrolysis devices.

What Is Electrolysis?​


Electrolysis, also known as electroepilation, is a highly specialised treatment designed to permanently eliminate unwanted hair.
Using a tiny sterile probe inserted into the natural opening of the hair follicle, a precise electrical current is delivered to the base of the follicle, permanently destroying the cells responsible for future hair growth.
Unlike laser hair removal, which targets pigment within the hair, electrolysis treats the follicle itself. This means it can effectively remove hairs regardless of colour, thickness or skin type.
Once a follicle has been successfully treated, it can no longer produce a hair.

Why Choose Electrolysis?

​The Only Proven Method of Permanent Hair Removal

While laser provides permanent hair reduction, electrolysis remains the gold standard for permanent hair removal.

Suitable for All Hair Colours
Electrolysis can effectively treat:
  • Blonde hair
  • Grey hair
  • White hair
  • Red hair
  • Dark hair

Suitable for All Skin Types
Because electrolysis does not rely on pigment, it can safely be performed on all skin tones.

Ideal for Stubborn Hairs
Perfect for those individual hairs that continue to return despite years of waxing, tweezing or laser treatments.

Precision Treatment
Each follicle is treated individually, allowing for exceptional accuracy and targeted results.

Areas That Can Be Treated​


Electrolysis can be performed almost anywhere unwanted hair grows.
Common treatment areas include:
FACE
  • Upper lip
  • Chin
  • Jawline
  • Neck
  • Cheeks
  • Sideburns
  • Eyebrow area
BODY
  • Underarms
  • Abdomen
  • Chest
  • Areola area
  • Arms
  • Hands and fingers
  • Legs
  • Feet and toes

If you are unsure whether your treatment area is suitable, our team can discuss this during your consultation.

​Common Reasons for Electrolysis

Electrolysis may be suitable for clients experiencing:
  • Hormonal facial hair growth
  • Persistent chin hairs
  • Upper lip hair
  • PCOS-related hair growth
  • Perimenopausal and menopausal hair changes
  • Hirsutism
  • Ingrown hairs
  • Remaining hairs after laser treatments
  • Hair colours unsuitable for laser treatment

​What Does Electrolysis Feel Like?


​Most clients describe electrolysis as:
  • A brief electrical sting
  • Mild warmth
  • A small pinching sensation
Sensitivity varies between treatment areas and from person to person. Areas such as the upper lip may feel more sensitive than others.
The advanced technology within the Apilus xCell Pur allows treatments to be delivered significantly faster than traditional systems, helping improve overall comfort.

Our Technology: Apilus xCell Pur​


Not all electrolysis devices are created equal.

At Skin, we use the Apilus xCell Pur, considered one of the most advanced electrolysis systems available worldwide.
Featuring ultra-fast 27.12 MHz radio frequency technology, the Apilus xCell Pur can deliver treatment speeds up to six times faster than traditional electrolysis systems, helping improve comfort while maintaining exceptional precision.

The system incorporates advanced treatment modalities including:
PicoFlash
​An ultra-fast thermolysis technique that delivers highly targeted energy to the base of the follicle with minimal heat diffusion into surrounding tissues.
MeloFlash
Ideal for stronger, deeper or more resistant hairs, allowing heat to be dispersed more broadly throughout the follicle.​
OmniBlend
A sophisticated treatment mode that combines galvanic and high-frequency currents for customised treatment of resistant hairs and varying skin sensitivities.​
​Your clinician will determine the most appropriate treatment approach based on your individual hair growth patterns, treatment area and goals.

​How Many Treatments Will I Need?

This is one of the most common questions we receive.

The honest answer is that there is no one-size-fits-all answer.

Hair growth is highly individual and influenced by factors including:
  • Hormones
  • Genetics
  • Treatment area
  • Hair density
  • Previous hair removal methods
​
Because hair grows in cycles, not every follicle is active at the same time.

For this reason, multiple treatments are required to progressively target hairs as they enter their active growth phase.
Most clients require a series of treatments to achieve satisfactory clearance, with treatment plans tailored to each individual's needs.

Treatment Intervals



​Recommended treatment intervals generally include:

Facial Areas
Every 4–6 weeks

Body Areas
Every 6–8 weeks

Your clinician will advise the most appropriate schedule for your individual circumstances.

​Frequently Asked Questions

Is electrolysis permanent?
Yes. Electrolysis is recognised as the only proven method of permanent hair removal. Once a follicle has been successfully treated, it can no longer produce a hair.

How is electrolysis different from laser hair removal?
Laser hair removal provides permanent hair reduction and relies on pigment within the hair shaft. Electrolysis treats the follicle directly and can permanently remove hairs of any colour.

Can electrolysis treat grey, blonde or white hairs?
Yes. This is one of the major advantages of electrolysis. Unlike laser, electrolysis is effective on grey, white, blonde and red hairs.

Is electrolysis safe?
When performed by a trained professional using appropriate techniques, electrolysis is considered a safe and effective treatment for permanent hair removal.

Can electrolysis help with PCOS-related hair growth?
Electrolysis can permanently remove existing unwanted hairs associated with hormonal conditions such as PCOS. However, ongoing hormonal changes may stimulate new follicles over time, meaning maintenance treatments may occasionally be required.

Do I need to stop waxing or tweezing?

Yes. Waxing, tweezing and threading remove the hair needed for treatment. Shaving is permitted between sessions.

Can I have a consultation and treatment on the same day?

In many cases, yes. Our team can discuss appointment options when booking.
